(under subclass 469) Device in which a carrier means, for mounting a cutter, is provided with structure claimed as capable of disassembly or removal, whereby the cutter may be inspected, removed, replaced or substituted.
(1) Note. For a patent to be placed herein, the cutter removal function of the carrier must be recited in the claim or be clearly inferred from the content of the claim and supported by the disclosure.
(2) Note. Since it is inherent in a device wherein the cutters of a tool pair are separable, as exemplified by the patents of subclass 482, that one cutter may be replaced while separated from the other cutter, further search should include subclass 482.
